If they are going to stay in house it doesn't really matter, as long as
you don't duplicate MAC addresses on your subnet.  I think any "true"
answer would require contacting SUN to see if they can from the serial #

IP number doesn't mean anything permanent, the IP number is set by the
subnet the machine lives on, not by Sun.
